Sainz frustrated after stalling, but wants to 'keep calm'

It has not been the season of Carlos Sainz so far. After an excellent first season at Ferrari, this year is just not working out for the Spaniard. Not only does he lack speed compared to Charles Leclerc, in Baku the driver fifth in the championship already had his third retirement of the season.

Sainz wants to stay calm

After eight laps, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was already over for Sainz. The Spaniard had to retire his Ferrari with a hydraulic problem and again didn't score any points for the championship. After the race he declared that it was just part of the job, but he still found it hard to hide his frustration.

The Spaniard lets it be known that the result in Baku is very frustrating. Also because it is difficult to be able to take the momentum now quotes Motorsport-Total.com. As frustrating as Ferrari's many dropouts are, the driver especially does not want to panic. According to him, the team now just needs to stay calm and learn from its mistakes.

How many more dropouts can Ferrari afford?

Leclerc and Sainz together have already suffered five dropouts so far. If Ferrari wants to have a serious chance at the championship, the question is how many more crashes the team can afford. Sainz can still lightheartedly respond that it mainly depends on how much happens at Red Bull. if Verstappen's team suffers five more crashes this season, Ferrari can also suffer a few more, jokes the Spaniard.

Sainz continues in a more serious tone that of course the goal is to have no more dropouts this season, but that the current problems are always very unexpected. In addition, he is aware that Red Bull is a formidable opponent that has won world championships. For Ferrari, the most important thing now is to solve the problems before Canada, just like the competition did at the beginning of the season. Sainz sees that Red Bull seems to have solved the problems."
